The article points out that vigilantism generally doesn't end well. But in this instance, I don't see how it could screw things up anymore than what's currently happening. Identity theft is rampant and the law is years and years behind technology. It will never catch up and thousands of people a day are being duped and screwed by these scams. Its a serious problem but the legal hurdles to climb over make any global system of policing these phishing assholes will never happen. There will always places for them to hide and continue to steal identities.
